Kenny Loggins stopped by The Tonight Show to showcase a medley of his songs on classroom instruments alongside Jimmy Fallon and the Roots. Kevin Bacon stepped in midway through the performance to help with a buoyant rendition of \u201cFootloose.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lively performance, featuring toy guitars, xylophones, and kazoos, included renditions of \u201cI\u2019m Alright,\u201d \u201cDanger Zone,\u201d Footloose,\u201d and \u201cCelebrate Me Home.\u201d<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n John Lithgow channeled his Footloose character, Reverend Shaw Moore, to interrupt the performance midway through to proclaim, \u201cNow wait a minute. Everybody listen to me. I object to this kind of music. It\u2019s illegal in this building.\u201d Bacon, channeling his own character, stepped in and replied, \u201cJump back. Hey, I thought this was supposed to be a party. Let\u2019s dance!\u201d<\/p>\n Loggins wrote multiple songs for hit movies in the 1980s, including \u201cDanger Zone\u201d for Top Gun. The Tom Cruise film is celebrating its 40th this year. Last year, Donald Trump used the iconic song in an apparently AI-generated video<\/a>\u00a0of him dumping shit on\u00a0\u201cNo Kings\u201d protesters<\/a>, which Loggins quickly protested.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an unauthorized use of my performance of \u2018Danger Zone,\u2019\u201d Loggins said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cNobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.\u201d He added, \u201cI can\u2019t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Loggins was announced as one of the inductees<\/a> to the Songwriters Hall of Fame class of 2026. Loggins is being honored alongside Taylor Swift, Alanis Morissette, Christopher \u201cTricky\u201d Stewart, Kiss\u2019 Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Terry Britten & Graham Lyle, and Walter Afanasieff. The induction ceremony takes place tonight at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
